Most fans will agree that the contracts for early round draft choices are out of control, especially for some of the picks in the first round. The are numerous stories of draft picks who got millions in bonuses, but never played down in the league.
Those contracts have become a point of contention in the NFL labor talks. Owners wants to cut the size of the contract while keeping the player under control for up to five years.
I believe in lowering the dollar value of these contracts, but players should have access to free agency sooner as a result. Neither side can have it their way. Free agency and salary control go hand in hand at this point.
Unless both sides agree to some limitations, there will be no football played.
